    Lubuntu 15.4 my new fave distro.

    Now that I've overcome my optical drive foibles, I am loving Lubuntu.

    Small load size fits on a CD. Fast loading of the OS. If you are dual-boot, the GRUB menu shows up (a problem with Linux Mint). Not as pretty as Ubuntu 9.4,9.10, 10.4 & 10.10 but you can always change the wallpaper. Best of all it's really quick on my socket A boards. Blessedly there is no Unity desktop.

    Had no sound on first boot, but googled the solution and installed 2 packages and all is well.

    I missed some functions of the "old" Ubuntu, which was a 10/10, but I would call this 8.5/10.

      The "old" Ubuntu I was referring to, were the 9.4 through 10.10 versions which
      fit on a CD and were not bloated. I found those versions very efficient on my socket A boards, and elegant too.

      I think Canonical has to make Ubuntu look sexier than Lubuntu to try and get users to adapt to the Unity desktop. I believe the switch to the Unity desktop moved a lot of users over to Linux Mint.

        You don't have to have Unity as your desktop you can get the gnome 2 classic flashback desktop,but i prefer the efficiency of UNITY then other desktop, i don't go by how it looks but how good it works and Unity is very good, better then any other desktop,and i tried them all,but i stick with Ubuntu and Unity and i have been free of issues since then maybe 3 years that i use Ubuntu and Unity and never ever had an issue.

          I don't give a hoot what desktop people want to use. With Linux you've got a lot of choices. Use what you like best.

            <off topic> Desktop wars!!!!!!!!!!!</off topic>

            i don't use a Desktop. I use a WM called Window maker, That's the best way to go IMO.

            You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

            Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore
